That’s knew of my major thoughts in favor of DST.

It’s about the change being important.
If we stay on a single “time” (say standard work day starts at 4 hours before solar noon), we’ll drift the work time to start/end the work day at some appropriate time.
The issue is that what that time is that most socially useful changes greatly over the year unless you live close to the equator.

I don’t know where you work, but I go in at 8:00 EST. Every day. If we didn’t change the clocks, I’d still be going in at 8:00 EST.

Why would the workday start drift?
PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Because people would start showing up earlier or later depending on whether we decide solar noon is 12:00 or 1:00.

Then let employers shift hours or start times if they rely on daylight. Nothing that comes from DST is useful enough to be universally mandatory.
